What if it was just a timer and the mobs hit harder and had more health?
What if the timer was reduced the higher key you went?
Are you perfectly okay with affixes how they are?
How would you improve M+ gameplay?
Per title, I would feel disappointed, because it removes the challenge.
Question 1: I might as well be raiding.
Question 2: Unnecessary, because some classes aren’t up to par on DPS
Question 3: It really depends. Some weeks are great, others are horrific. This week is pretty good.
Question 4: Improve RNG luck for active tanks and supports. Seek additional ways of influence for more players to play tank or support.

I would be into this actually. Probably one of the few, but I would.

How would you feel if mythic plus didnt have affixes?
I have strongly mixed feelings.
On one hand, no affixes means “any week is a push week” and that’s good for the competitive aspect.
On the other hand, no affixes means that every week is the same week which would get quite bland. For the past 6 years of M+ we would have essentially the same dungeon pool for a two year period and affixes helped keep things fresh. Even just Tyrannical/Fort keeps alternating weeks feeling different from each other and in SL they finally reached a balancing point where Tyr/Fort are roughly equal to one another (although this failed in S4 because they stopped using the well-balanced SL dungeons).
No thanks. The timer is already tight in many cases and mobs having more health means you’re spending more time on any one pull anyways.

That would make M+ too easy.
Depends on the scaling.
Overall I think affixes are more a problem than a solution. Especially when you get into interactions like quaking, explosives, and sanguine with tight dungeons. And tyrannical with some boss mechanics. In general, I think the chance of negative interactions raises exponentially with number of them they want to pile on.
In the end, if it’s creating weeks where a role would rather not do m+, it’s a negative.
Nah, affixes are important for changing up the way dungeons progress and feel.
If anything, they need to be more impactful.
Running the same dungeons for an expansion with NOTHING shaking up the formula would be nightmarish.

Remove Storming, Necrotic and Grievous lol.
That’s kinda the point though. Remove that, you remove a lot of friction which bricks keys.
That’s like saying “Would you enjoy Mega Man II more if we removed all the spikes and pits”.
What if they just compressed it down to 0, +1, +2, +3, and +4, and everything after that was just leaderboard stuff? No more need to climb through numerous dungeons and waste your time.
I mean I did the MoP/WoD challenge modes. No affixes, just tight timers. No gear rewards aside from cosmetic ones. Frankly I liked that model better.
Affixes are mostly just annoying, not fun or engaging. So I wouldn’t miss them.

I like having affixes.
I would like to see more variety in affixes.
How many CMs did you run every week on how many alts ?
Now you get it.
CMs were fun, but lacked a lot in replayability.
I imagine I’d get bored. The affixes help to keep it fresh.
They could do with adding some more interesting ones though. Most of the current ones are pretty boring.
They’re also throwing far too many buffs at groups with the seasonal affixes lately.
Let’s be honest, the affixes isn’t what’s holding 99.9% of GD back in any week. Lmao.

Well in MoP I earned the set on 3 different characters (Druid/Shaman/Priest). They were actually hard/challenging, unlike M+ today. Which is a joke.
In WoD I just did my Druid, which I am glad since later we were able to get all the weapon mogs if we did it once.
Getting keys bricked by unfortunate combinations of affixes is a good thing? If it’s so bad, you go, “Nope, Bricked, not even going to try” that’s a positive?
Well I guess you have to ask yourself, is it supposed to be fun or frustrating? In my guild we had quite a few people that quit M+, and some the game, over the increasing difficulty this expansion. Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “I only play M+ for the affixes.”

“MoP CMs were challenging”.
Meanwhile :
Try that in a +20.

I would be incredibly pleased with that but I would keep the Tyra/Fort rotation, I think that’s fair enough, the other affixes are just annoying.
Same as i do now.
I don’t like speed run content. I don’t like mythic +
